What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our team wasted Fridays manually reconciling Stripe payments with Asana-tracked SEO projects, like keyword audits and content calendars—it was a total drag on our momentum. Now, invoices for our monthly SEO retainer packages, including optimization deliverables, fire off automatically upon milestone completion, and we've slashed billing errors from 10% to zero. This saved us about 10 hours a week, allowing us to onboard two extra retainer clients last quarter without overtime."
Sarah Jenkins
Operations Director at LinkBoost Digital Agency
"We manage variable billing for one-off PPC audits, technical SEO optimizations, and ongoing monthly retainers, but manual data entry between tools was chaos. AIQ's custom integration syncs Stripe directly with our client portal and SEMrush data feeds seamlessly. On-time payments are up 20%, our CFO raves about the real-time dashboard for tracking campaign ROI, and we've eliminated those frantic end-of-month reconciliations entirely."
Mike Rivera
Founder and CEO of RankRise SEO Solutions
"As a scaling SEO agency, chasing overdue retainers for link-building campaigns was embarrassing and time-consuming. AIQ's automation now handles gentle escalations tied to visible campaign progress updates in our portal. We've improved our net revenue retention to 92% from 75%, and the system paid for itself in just six weeks by catching previously missed add-on invoices for performance audits."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation handle variable SEO project billing?
Our custom system is designed for the nuances of SEO work, where fees can vary based on deliverables like site audits or link-building phases. We integrate Stripe with your project management tools to automatically calculate and invoice based on completed tasks. For instance, if a campaign hits a milestone, the AI triggers a precise invoice with line items matching your contract. This eliminates manual adjustments, reduces errors by 90%, and ensures clients see transparent breakdowns. We've seen agencies cut billing cycles from days to hours, maintaining trust while accelerating revenue recognition. Setup involves mapping your specific workflows, so it's not a one-size-fits-all—it's built for your agency's structure.
What if my agency uses multiple CRMs or SEO platforms?
No problem—we specialize in multi-tool environments common in professional services. Our engineers create deep, two-way API integrations that pull data from platforms like HubSpot, Google Analytics, or Moz into Stripe without friction. For example, client SEO performance metrics can auto-populate invoice details, ensuring accuracy for performance-based billing. This unified approach creates a single source of truth, avoiding the data silos that waste 20 hours weekly for many agencies. Post-launch, we provide ongoing support to handle updates, keeping everything synced as your tech stack evolves. The result? Smoother operations and a 30% drop in admin overhead, based on our client benchmarks.
How secure is the payment data in your custom system?
Security is paramount for SEO agencies handling sensitive client budgets and performance data. We build with enterprise-grade encryption, adhering to PCI DSS standards for Stripe integrations, and implement role-based access controls to protect information. Your data stays in a owned, cloud-agnostic system—not rented from third parties—reducing breach risks that affect 40% of services firms annually. Features like audit logs track every transaction, aiding compliance for tax or client reviews. In one case, an agency avoided a $15K dispute thanks to our tamper-proof records. We conduct full vulnerability assessments pre-launch, ensuring your custom automation is as robust as a fortified client vault.
What's the timeline for implementing Stripe automation?
For most SEO agencies, we deliver a fully functional system in 4-6 weeks, depending on complexity. Week one is discovery: auditing your billing flows and client types. Weeks two and three involve building and integrating with your tools. The final weeks cover testing, training, and go-live with minimal disruption. Unlike no-code setups that drag on, our code-first approach ensures speed without sacrificing quality. Post-implementation, expect immediate wins like 50% faster invoicing. We've accelerated month-end closes for clients from 10 days to 2, directly impacting cash flow. If your needs are straightforward, we can compress to 3 weeks—tailored to keep your projects on track.
Can this scale as my agency grows to more clients?
Absolutely—scalability is core to our architecture, unlike rigid templates that buckle under volume. We design the system to handle 10 to 500+ clients effortlessly, with auto-scaling cloud infrastructure that manages peak loads, like end-of-quarter billing rushes. For growing agencies, it supports adding features such as tiered retainers or international payments without rebuilds. One client scaled from 20 to 80 accounts in a year, seeing no performance dips and 25% efficiency gains. Our modular code allows seamless expansions, like tying in AI for predictive billing, ensuring your investment compounds as you grow. It's built to evolve with your business, not constrain it.
Do you provide ongoing support after launch?
Yes, we offer comprehensive support to ensure long-term success, recognizing that professional services evolve. Included is 3 months of free monitoring and tweaks, plus optional retainers for updates like new Stripe features or SEO tool changes. Our team—senior engineers familiar with agency pains—handles everything from bug fixes to optimizations, with 99% uptime SLAs. Clients appreciate proactive alerts, like payment trend insights that flag at-risk retainers early. This isn't set-it-and-forget-it; it's a partnership that has helped agencies maintain 95% client retention through reliable systems. Expect dedicated access to keep your automation humming.
